Office 2010 x86 samba installation required

Post by sinemora »

Hello everyone,

I am on Mojave 14.3 and I am using wine 4.0 installed via homebrew. I am trying to install Office 2010 in a win=32 prefix but the installer always crashes, returning a 1603 error.
I've done some digging and it seems the crash is related to the lack of Samba in my system (Apple ditched it since 10.7).
I tried installing Office 2010 with PoM and I indeed saw the script pulling a samba3.tar.gz resource, confirming the problem.

Now, I do not want to use PoM (fonts look like garbage) so I need to somehow make samba available to wine in the prefix I use for Office2010. I am really not that much tech savvy, anyone kind enough to give me a step by step noob-proof guide about it?

Thanks!

Well, seems I solved the problem, I:

1. installed Xcode
2. Installed MacPorts
3. Installed Samba3 via Macports

And all is well again.
